Blackburn Rovers' toughest transfer business that could have biggest impact

1 day ago | lancashiretelegraph.co.uk | Elliott Jackson

Summer Scouting: Strikers. (Image: Canva) Last but not least on 'Summer Scouting'; we look at Blackburn Rovers' options up front. Yuki Ohashi Blackburn Rovers' Japanese forward has been a great addition for just a few hundred grand. The 28-year-old finished his debut season in England as Rovers' top goal-scorer. Yuki Ohashi is an intelligent player that can play as a number nine or as a ten, though I think he's better as the former.
Blackburn Rovers must avoid transfer pitfall after hat-trick of examples

Valerien Ismael wants 90% of his squad through the door for the start of pre-season. That remains three weeks away but Rovers have yet to make a breakthrough in the transfer market. Whilst that target was always wishful thinking, the remaining '10%' left out by Ismael was always likely to be loan players. Often, Premier League clubs don't sanction deals for their brightest talents until August as they finalise their squads for the new season.

Summer Scouting: Wingers. (Image: Canva) Next up on 'Summer Scouting'; we take a look at Blackburn Rovers' options on the wings. Rovers have triggered the option in Ryan Hedges' contract to ensure he stays at Ewood Park next season. Valerien Ismael was adamant that he wanted to keep the Welshman at the club. The last two seasons have been frustrating for Hedges. Last term was injury hit and this campaign, he didn't produce his best in the final third.
Valerien Ismael's remarkable Blackburn Rovers feat as manager churn continues

Remarkably, the Blackburn Rovers head coach has already outlasted a third of the division despite being unveiled on February 25. Only one second-tier club made an appointment later in the season, with Alan Sheehan getting the Swansea City job full-time last month. However, even he was in situ, in temporary charge, before Ismael, beating Rovers 3-0 in his first game as caretaker. Ismael's rise up the list comes after a summer of mass churn in the Championship managerial market.
Tyrhys Dolan question mark aired as Blackburn Rovers face contract battle

Blackburn Rovers are waiting to discover whether the 23-year-old will extend his stay at Ewood Park. A new deal has been offered but Dolan has openly said he wants to play at the highest level possible. The forward will be patient this summer and assess his options, as a result. If there is no Premier League move on offer, it'll be interesting to see where he might land in the Championship food chain, if he does leave Rovers.
Blackburn Rovers' stance on exciting Academy prospect amid Arsenal transfer interest

The talented England youth international has enjoyed a meteoric rise at Ewood Park since joining from Rochdale. The forward progressed from Under-18s to making his first-team debut in less than 12 months. Rovers convinced Tyjon to sign a scholarship last summer despite interest from those higher up the food chain. That committed him for two years, with the first of those having just passed. The promise of a clear pathway into the first-team attracted the 17-year-old to bide his time at Ewood Park.
Blackburn Rovers' clear priorities with three players' futures uncertain

Summer Scouting: midfielders. (Image: Canva) Next up on 'Summer Scouting'; we take a look at Blackburn Rovers' options in midfield. Blackburn Rovers' club captain has one year left on his current contract and that places some doubt over his future. Sheffield United were the strongest admirers last summer, though Hull City were also linked. The Blades' defeat in the Championship play-off final means they could possibly come back for Lewis Travis.
Blackburn Rovers man becomes first out-of-contract player to sign new deal

The goalkeeper was one of five players offered fresh terms with his current deal set to expire at the end of June. He has committed his future for a further two years, with the option of another. The 21-year-old joined Rovers from Manchester City in 2020. He's spent loans at Lancaster City, Bamber Bridge, Marine, Dundalk and Ebbsfleet United. With Jordan Eastham leaving and Joe Hilton departing in January, Goddard will keep Rovers' number healthy in the goalkeeping department.

Summer scouting: Centre-backs. (Image: Canva) Next up on 'Summer Scouting'; we take a look at Blackburn Rovers' options at centre-back. Dom Hyam was incredibly reliable for Blackburn Rovers last season, playing every minute in the Championship. He was one of only three outfield players to do so. Triggering the contract extension in his deal was a no-brainer for the club with that considered.

A league table, compiled by PA Sport, has Rovers 41st compared to the top 275 clubs across world football, again highlighting the quality of their Category One set-up. Leeds United, Hull City, Sheffield United, West Brom and Bristol City were the only second-tier clubs to offer more league minutes to those who had risen through their ranks. Rovers' tally was 5,195 which left the likes of European giants, Juventus, Marseille and Sporting CP in their wake.
